Code of Conduct
US LACROSSE AND THE POSITIVE
COACHING ALLIANCE
Lacrosse is the oldest American sport. Native Americans
played lacrosse centuries ago, long before our
colonies were settled. Through lacrosse, Native
Americans celebrated and emphasized their spiritual
and cultural values.
In an effort to promote appropriate values in the modern
game, US Lacrosse has partnered with the Positive
Coaching Alliance to promote positive coaching
and good sportsmanship for all levels of lacrosse. US
Lacrosse has included the following "Lacrosse Code
of Conduct" as part of its membership application
to encourage and foster appropriate values in play-
ers, coaches, parents, officials and spectators. US
Lacrosse believes that it should be a priority of every
lacrosse player, team, program and league to "Honor
the Game."
US LACROSSE CODE OF CONDUCT
Players, coaches, officials, parents and spectators are to
conduct themselves in a manner that "Honors the
Game" and demonstrates respect to other players,
coaches, officials, parents, spectators and fans. In
becoming a member of the lacrosse community an
individual assumes certain obligations and responsibili-
ties to the game of lacrosse and its participants. The
essential elements in this "Code of Conduct" are
HONESTY and INTEGRITY. Those who conduct
themselves in a manner that reflects these elements
will bring credit to the sport of lacrosse, themselves,
their team and their organization. It is only through
such conduct that our sport can continue to earn and
maintain a positive image and make its full contribution
to amateur sports in the United States and around the
world. US Lacrosse supports the following behaviors
for those who participate in the sport or are involved
in any way with US Lacrosse. The following essential
elements of the "Code of Conduct" must be followed:
Sportsmanship and teaching the concepts of fair play are essential to
the game and must be taught at all levels and developed both at
home and on the field during practices and games.
The value of good sportsmanship, the concepts of fair play, and the
skills of the game should always be placed above winning.
The safety and welfare of the players are of primary importance.
Coaches must always be aware of the tremendous influence they
have on their players. They are to strive to be positive role models
in dealing with young people, as well as adults.
Coaches should always demonstrate positive behaviors and reinforce
them to players, parents, officials and spectators alike. Players
should be specifically encouraged and positively reinforced by
coaches to demonstrate respect for teammates, opponents, officials
and spectators.
Players should always demonstrate positive behavior and respect
toward teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, parents and
spectators.
Coaches, players, parents and spectators are expected to demonstrate
the utmost respect for officials and reinforce that respect to players/
teammates. Coaches are also expected to educate their players as
to the important role of lacrosse officials and reinforce the ideal of
respect for the official to players/teammates.
Grievances or misunderstandings between coaches, officials or
any other parties involved with the sport should be communicated
through the proper channels and procedures, never on or about the
field of play in view of spectators or participants.
Officials are professionals and are therefore expected to conduct
themselves as such and in a manner that demonstrates total impartial-
ity, courtesy and fairness to all parties.
Spectators involved with the game must never permit anyone to
openly or maliciously criticize, badger, harass or threaten an official,
coach, player or opponent.
Coaches must be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the rules
of lacrosse, and should adhere to the rules in both the letter and the
spirit of the game.
Coaches should provide a basic knowledge of the rules to both play-
ers and spectators within his/her program. Attempts to manipulate
rules in an effort to take unfair advantage of an opponent, or to
teach deliberate unsportsmanlike conduct, is considered unacceptable
conduct.
Eligibility requirements, at all levels of the game, must be followed.
Rules and requirements such as age, previous level of participation,
team transfers, etc, have been established to encourage and maximize
participation, fair play and to promote safety.
